I don't think Ed is used to being in an offense that moves the ball around as much The Jazz do.

Whenever he gets the ball more than 2 feet away from the rim he almost looks surprised.

I have no doubt he'll find his way. When Ingles, Green and Davis get on the same page, this will be the just about the best second unit in the league.

this... we let our bigs handle a lot up there. Wonder what the offense would look like with an elite passing big.
 
Ekpe is the better rim protector and could guard the switches. Ed Davis in PnR defense this preseason looked way too slow.

Ekpe was also the better passer, more accuracy on his short roll passes to corner but Ed Davis is a willing passer too.

You're basing this off of 5 preseason games. Udoh isnt nba talent, the proof of that is that he isnt in the league.

Some people are terrible at judging talent

Funny, I was just thinking recently that it s a pitty he is gone. He is great defender and being given how much we gained on the offense it would be good to have him. Davis hasn't looked good on D in the preseason, hopefully it will change as the season starts and everybody will start giving 100 percent effort.

Its like people wanna award style points here or something... Dont you understand thats the reason why Udoh was overdrafted in the first place? because there were delusions of grandeaur bout his offensive game, that have since proven to be simply style point type of stuff that doesnt translate..


If utah crashes and burns this season, i guarantee it wont be because of Ed Davis, who's been consistently solid everywehre hes gone, which is a lot of spots

Well spoken Lord Bullington !! Bravo sir !!!
 
I have to say I disagree with many of these posts. For one, from what Davis has shown -- I haven't seen much of him before this -- Epke is far and away better on defense. His block per minute average was better than Gobert most of the season though I don't know if it ended that way.

On offense I haven't seen Davis do anything. Epke could go in the post and make jump hooks, and I don't think he had such bad hands, either. So, while Davis may be better, I haven't seen it, and he seems to drop the ball every time someone passes to him.

Sure Davis has had a better NBA career, but so far with the Jazz he hasn't shown anything.

Davis hasn't shown anything yet with the Jazz because he's played exactly zero meaningful minutes with the Jazz. There's a reason he's one of the most coveted backup centers in the league, whereas Ekpe, much as I loved him, was never more than 3rd string even with the Jazz.
And if we're comparing to Gobert: Davis outrebounded him by 2.5 per 36 last season (and outrebounded Ekpe by 7 per 36).

You may be right and I hope you are. Like Bogey, both have been seriously underwhelming. On the other hand, Jeff Green has been better than expected, and should get major minutes.

I hope so too! To be fair, I think the Jazz got better since last season but if all the new players will work out as expected (or hoped) or just some of them remains to be seen. But I choose to be wildly optimistic for now :)
